They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 507 The Nameless Titan's Tomb
Upon seeing the gate on the mountainside, Dan Lei knew that this was a sure thing.

This gate has a very distinct Onphalus style and is clearly not made by the Long Night Moon.

Danlei and Changyeyue only met once, but they got to know each other using the most classic way of getting to know each other in the world of anime.

Based on Dan Lei's understanding of Chang Ye Yue, the bases she built were either in her own style, reminiscent of vampire demons, or in the flamboyant style of March 7th.

It certainly couldn't be a traditional, rustic gate like the Onpharos.

With a clear destination in mind, Dan Lei and Xi Lian instantly transformed into golden and purple light, landing in front of the gate.

After landing, Danlei placed the "koala" Keludela he was carrying on the ground and said...

"Crydella, we've arrived. With your strength, even if you were ten times stronger, you couldn't strangle me, so don't exhaust yourself."

Upon hearing this, Kerudela's already pale golden face gained an even deeper golden hue.

There was nothing that could be done; Dan Lei hadn't even activated a shield during the freefall, so given Krystal's coordination, her head was naturally congested with blood.

The so-called forceful strangulation of Dan Lei's neck was not malicious; it was simply the instinctive reaction of people to unconsciously cling to things around them when they feel insecure.

There's something very unrealistic about Onpharos: when the Golden Descendants are shy, they blush.

However, when the head is congested with blood and not in a state of shyness, it will normally show a blood-red color, which is golden.

As we all know, blushing is because human blood is red. The Golden Descendants have golden blood, and even if they are disemboweled, you can't see any red. The fact that they blush can only be said to be because that's how the programming works. Biology doesn't play a role in this.

However, Krydella's blood pressure is indeed about to explode from anger at Danlei.

The brain was congested with blood during the free fall, and I didn't realize it at the time.

Now that she had landed, Krystal immediately noticed that the purple-haired beauty next to Danlei also had the ability to land without getting hurt.

In other words, Dan Lei didn't need to carry her at all; the purple-haired lady named Xi Lian could have easily taken her down.

Of course, Krydela didn't think Danlei was trying to take advantage of her; he just had a perverse sense of humor and wanted to experience her embarrassment and resentment firsthand.

So, after Danlei put her down, Kerudela didn't hesitate to kick Danlei in the calf and protest.

"Dragon God Danlei!! You still say you don't want to take advantage of me? You could have had Miss Xilian bring me down, why did you have to carry me yourself?"

Kerudela's use of the excuse of taking advantage is a case of making a fuss over nothing.

After all, the morbid curiosity is just speculation, and Danlei's comment that you don't appreciate kindness is hard to refute.

Sure enough, Dan Lei immediately realized his mistake after being criticized like that.

He should have taken back Xi Lian and released her later.

Danlei was used to Xilian acting freely, so he forgot about this matter; otherwise, he wouldn't have been caught by Keludela.

Therefore, Danlei could only deny it while forcibly changing the subject.

"Go away, go away. With your figure that's neither prominent in the front nor in the back, what advantage do you have to gain?"

"By the way, which of you two locals remembers this gate?"

Danlei's attempt to change the subject was rather forceful, but Krydela still took the opportunity to back down and didn't dwell on the topic of Danlei taking advantage of her.

After all, this topic is just a free way to kick Dan Lei.

If the conversation continues, it will inevitably lead to a topic that even Krydela herself finds unacceptable.

As for throwing a few more punches, it would be like tickling Dan Lei, who has thick skin and tough flesh.

Keludela felt that if Danlei had any sense of royalty, he would be buried in front of this unknown ruin today.

Therefore, Kerudela could only follow Danlei's words and end the previous topic, walking to a spot a dozen meters from the door to begin her research.

Xi Lian also did the same thing.

The Xi Lian of this time is no longer the Xi Lian of a hundred years ago who had lost her memory and knew little more about Onfaros than Dan Lei.

While Danlei was studying the books of Longhushan, she asked Titi to open doors for her everywhere so that she could read through most of the historical books of Wengfaluos.

Many of them were stolen from other people's palaces by Saifeier.

Of course, she returned all the books after she finished reading them; she didn't keep them for herself.

This led many book owners to believe that the books were missing due to a mistake by the management staff, causing considerable trouble for many library administrators.

Therefore, Xilian is now an encyclopedia of Onphalus. When it comes to knowledge of ancient Onphalus history and various local myths, Danlei is just a primary school student in front of Xilian.

However, with the two separated by more than ten meters, it was difficult to find many clues by just looking.

As for why the two kept a distance of more than ten meters, it was naturally because they were afraid that approaching rashly would trigger the defense mechanism of this ruin (tomb).

Both men had some knowledge of the history of Onphalus and knew that many of the gates in the ruins left from the Golden Age were actually traps.

Because the people of the Golden Age do not die, the so-called ruins are simply treasure vaults or the secluded dwellings of certain individuals.

If the traps at the entrance were dangerous, that would be fine, at least Xi Lian isn't afraid of ordinary traps, but Xi Lian is afraid of encountering self-destruct traps.

To prevent the hidden treasures from being taken by others, the person who built the treasure room would destroy it and sink it if the treasure was discovered by others.

This way, it would take the thief a lot of time to dig the treasure out of the ground, giving the owner enough time to react.

After studying for more than ten minutes, Kerudela spoke first.
"No, I can't tell what era this door is from."

The patterns on it are not from the Golden Age; in fact, they do not belong to any era I am aware of.

Furthermore, the runes above do not belong to any Titan. What do these runes represent?
"Dragon God, is this your rune?"

Danlei seemed to vaguely recognize the runes that Krystal had mentioned, but couldn't quite place where he had seen them before.

Xi Lian, however, took the initiative to answer for Dan Lei.

"This rune... seems to resemble an icon in my book, except the one in the book is horizontal."

Upon hearing Xi Lian's words, Keludela immediately turned her head and asked in confusion.

"As I wrote? I've never heard of this book before. Is it a unique copy from ancient times?"

Regarding this question, Danlei stepped forward and patted Xilian's shoulder, signaling her not to reveal too much about the other Xilian, and then explained to Kerudela...

"As I have written, it is in the hands of the prophesied Savior. When you see her, you will naturally know which icon it is."

I scanned this door several times while you were researching it; there shouldn't be any traps. Let's go, just open the door and go in.

After saying that, Danlei took the lead and walked to the door, opening it.

Seeing that the gate was open normally, Xi Lian and Ke Lu De La naturally followed.

Behind the door was a long, narrow corridor. At the end, the view suddenly opened up, revealing a vast expanse of architectural ruins and a huge vortex of memory surrounding them.

Dan Lei didn't even glance at the ruins surrounding the vortex.

Even if there were clues in those dilapidated buildings, they would never be crucial ones.
The convergence of surrounding forces reveals that the power of memory is concentrated in that large vortex, and the true core of the ruins lies beneath the vortex.

So, Danlei pointed to the vortex and said...
"Don't waste time on the surrounding buildings. I can sense that our purpose here lies beneath the whirlpool."

The other two agreed with Danlei's suggestion. However, Kerudela walked directly to Xilian and reached out to hug her.

Seeing this, Dan Lei couldn't very well say no to Xi Lian hugging Ke Lu De La, so he could only turn around and touch his nose to ease the awkwardness.

Xi Lian has always been powerless against pretty girls asking for hugs.

Keludela, a petite yet strikingly beautiful girl, is particularly appealing to Xi Lian.

So Xi Lian immediately picked up Keludela and even rubbed her face against his cheek twice in a happy way.

When Krydella was picked up by Xilian, she felt something was wrong. It seemed that in order to escape from the tiger's mouth, she had directly entered the wolf's den.

When Danlei held Keludela, he was still very careful and his hands really didn't touch any places he shouldn't.

But Xi Lian had no such scruples. Not only did one hand glide across her thighs and buttocks, but the other hand was also making a ruckus near her armpits.

Her face-rubbing gesture, combined with her expression, made her look just like a little girl hugging her favorite doll.

Moreover, it was only after Xilian hugged her that Keludela realized that this girl was quite dangerous.

The reasoning is similar to how a young child stops crying when seeing a ferocious beast. Biological instinct tells you not to cry at that moment because the genes that prevent your body from making a sound at that time were eliminated in ancient times. (This problem disappears once you're familiar with the animal, like Miyazaki and its owner.)

Kerudela had this feeling at that moment: it was best not to provoke this girl named Xilian, because she was more dangerous to her than Danlei.

The danger that Krydela sensed was naturally the innate deterrent of the Great Lord of Annihilation, who was destroying memories.

Xi Lian has controlled this power very well; ordinary people can't even feel it.

But Krystal was already right next to her, and with her sixth sense and judgment maxed out, she naturally sensed the threat that Xilian posed to all the memory-based life forms.

Therefore, at this time, Krystal could only obediently act as a doll, letting Xilian take advantage of her.

Fortunately, Dan Lei didn't let Krydela suffer for too long. Seeing that Xi Lian had already picked up Krydela, he immediately transformed into a golden beam of light and rushed into the vortex in the center of the ruins.

Upon seeing this, Xi Lian immediately used the power of her memories and destiny to envelop Keludela and follow.

The three then arrived at a large gate again.

However, there was only a small platform at the entrance to the vortex. After the three of them landed, Dan Lei had just taken the first step forward when he heard the mechanical system warning.
Visitor scanning...

Warning: Object does not have access permissions.

Execution Protocol λ003-097: Formatting Object ██████
█WARNING! Target cannot be locked██████
█████████████████”

Based on the mechanical voice, Dan Lei didn't even need to guess; he knew he had definitely entered a hidden module of the scepter system.

The firewall here must be very sensitive; it will immediately format the file if it detects that it doesn't have permission.

However, if even its own firewall couldn't lock down the Gushi, then naturally it couldn't lock down a mere module of the firewall.

For a system, if the target clearly exists but cannot be selected, logical confusion will naturally occur. The subsequent program noise is naturally the result of logical errors and repeated infinite loops.

However, Danlei was not afraid of this vicious cycle and directly destroyed the scepter.

If the scepter were to shut down due to the infinite loop, the Iron Tomb would likely be doomed, which would be advantageous to them, so there was no need to stop it.

Unfortunately, the Scepter System is clearly not the kind of low-intelligence, garbage system that keeps trying to break through infinite loops. (Bai'er's eternal recurrence simply deletes the records and restarts the loop, not a normal infinite loop that would cause memory and processor to explode.)

After looping endlessly within itself, the firewall bypassed Danlei and scanned Krydella.

Then the system voice sounded again.

"Visitor scan, electrical signal sequence: HubRis504."

Warning: Object does not have access permissions.

Execution protocol λ003-097: Formatting object HubRis504…

Upon hearing the system voice, Dan Lei immediately realized things were about to go wrong. He scooped up Krystalla around the waist and rushed upwards at full speed out of the vortex.

After escaping the vortex, Danlei breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Krydella, who was unharmed, in his arms.

She said she was lucky she was fast, otherwise Krishna's data would have been deleted on the spot, which would have meant she died in this cycle without receiving the seed of law.

Krydella wasn't stupid at all. From Danlei's actions, she knew that she must have just encountered a deadly danger, otherwise he wouldn't have rescued her from the vortex so quickly.

So when Danlei placed Krydella in the surrounding ruins and told her not to wander off and to wait for him to come out, Krydella, unusually, listened to Danlei and said that she would obediently wait there.

Seeing that Keludela did not object to waiting for him outside, Danlei immediately returned to the vortex.

Dan Lei is not worried about Xi Lian's safety. If the firewall of the scepter can delete the spirit of the Holy Grail and the Destroyer of Destruction who destroys memories, then the firewall on Dan Lei's body will definitely not be able to prevent this firewall from locking on him.

However, to Dan Lei's surprise, when he entered the vortex again, he only heard the mechanical voice speak in a normal tone first.

“PhiLia093, permission granted.”

Then, it immediately transformed into a broadcast report in the tone of a baby babbling.

"Welcome back, Peach."

When Dan Lei landed, the gate beneath the vortex had already opened.

Seeing this, Dan Lei looked at Xi Lian, who also looked bewildered, and asked...
"By the way, can you tell me what happened during the minute or so I was away?"

Xi Lian didn't know much about this either, so she could only tell the truth.
"Actually, after Krydella was taken away, the firewall froze for a while, seemingly unable to find the target, and then started scanning me."

The previous prompts were the same, but I didn't get an error message saying the object had no access permissions.

It seems my telephone number, PhiLia093, grants me access here.

After Xi Lian said that, Dan Lei looked at the open door and walked ahead, saying...
"It looks like we've gained something extra this time."

Since you have access, this is very likely the tomb of some Titan that you recorded in your memory fragments.

No wonder we couldn't find this place even after searching all over Onphalus.

Hidden so deep underground, with such a sensitive firewall at the entrance, even Krydela had to be removed—how could the Onpharos possibly know about it?

　The icon for Demuse, which the Trail Blazers mentioned seeing before in the main storyline, has three options.

　　The author has read them all.

　　As I wrote, the infinity icon is horizontal, not vertical.

　　In Tibo's memory, I've seen the runes in the flashback when Janus was dying, at 0.5x speed, and there wasn't an infinite style.

　　The mural of the unknown Titan in the Eye of Dawn and Dusk is the most ridiculous. The gap in his head is diamond-shaped, and what he is holding in his hands looks a bit like a tai chi ball.

　　The Trail Blazers themselves are joking that it's very similar, but there are differences.

　　Danheng didn't trigger the formatting in front of the Demogue Matrix because he had just merged with the Earth Fire Seed, and the data reading was incorrect. The main storyline read directly as garbled text, which is why it jumped to the next person, the Pioneer.

　　There's definitely no problem with Krystal; her information is accurate and will certainly be formatted.

　　Xi Lian entered the Demuge Matrix directly after being killed, without needing to go through the gate, because she was originally born here.

　　However, after entering for the first time, I was deleted immediately after saying only one sentence.
